missions to that of practical activi-
ties. it may without question be said
- that the human service of the
l churches during the past decade has
been unparalleled. This has not
been confined to mere institutional
service. Its significance lies in the
fact that the churches have been
seeking to do their part in creating

sequent loss of revenue. Impulse:

Another often-asked question.
“where are the old reflvalista and
rcuvals of religion?” is answered
in Dr. Macfarland's article:
"‘I'here is an answer to this ques-
tion. Evangelism has become more
normal and hence less observable.
The effort of the evangelistic leaders
of the present moment is to per-
suade; train and induce pastors to
become their own Evangelism. All
over the country. year after year.
pastors are coming together in con-
ference to perfect common plans for
what is known' as simultaneous
evangelism. the concerted effort. of
pastors in a given community from
time to time to carry on an evan-
gelistic work Just as intensive al-
though less exploited and with
more permanent results than usually
obtained by revivalistlc efforts.
“Then years ago there was. I
think. not a single denomination
that had any board or committee
for the study of the cause and cure
of war. Today. fifteen major de-
nominations havo such agencies and
while doubtless. as with other hu-
man institutions. there is some con-
fusion in the minds of men an to the
proper adjustment between justice
and peace. it should be said that the
churches have never tackled a big-
gcr job than that of finding substi-
tutes. both spiritual and practically
constructive. to take the place of
war.
"I have called attentionio the
fact that there has been a growth in
the sense of denominational con-
sciousnessfiwhich undoubtedly has
its attendant evils. 0n the other
hand. however. it is well to remind
ourselves that this is but the expres-
sion of a new sense of the responsi-
bility of the church. It has taken
the form of great forward move-
l merits. Creating new tasks and meet-
. ing previously unfulfilled opportun-
ltics.
“Meanwhile. as the churches have
been enlarging their sense of social
urrsponsibility and their world-wide
lfiszon. we should note the changes
that have taken place in the fields
of Home and Foreign Missions and
of Christian education. 15;) to very
recent times. the Home Mission task
was simply the planting of churches
. and Sunday schools wherever a foot-
hold might be found. It was a mat-
ter mainly of preaching stations. the
study of the Scriptures.
"'1'on the Home Mission task is
construed in the larger terms of
brotherly race relations. industrial
conditions. the care of the immi-
grant and in this field mere prose-
lyting is becoming a negligible fac-
tor. “‘hen we look at the field of
Foreign Missions and witness 'ito
growth. from the earlier simple
problem of preaching the Gospel by
words: and count its hospitals. med-
ical centers. schools. academies. coi-
leges and other institutions spread-
ing over the entire world. we are
not inclined. for the moment at least
to press too cynically the question:
‘W‘hat is the matter with our
churches?”
increasingly expended. not on itself.
but on mankind."

selling as low as $2.75 per cartc. the
bulk of the supply being of 4 and 5-
dozen size crates.
Spinach was also taking part in
the weaker market. as it was freely
offered from at least two important
Southern shipping states. Aspara-
gus and new crop carrots continued
to arrive freely and sell at prices
declined to last week. New beets
were not as freely offered and were
being held for higher prices. Toma-
toes and strawberries held firm.
New cabbage also was maintaining
a. steady position. while' new onions
were slightly easier but old onions
were firm at slightly higher prices.
Old potatoes were steady at un-
changed prices. this vegetable being
alone now among thp important veg-
etables where old crop offerings still
control the market. New crop p0-
tntoes not becoming important mar-
ket factors in competition with the
old until in June. when Eastern
shone begins marketing their crop.
Old cabbage has practically disap-
peared. while old onions are giving
way daily to the fast arriving new
crop. Roots now are practically all
of the new crop.

LOS ANGELES', April 7.—-'1'he np-
psrently paradoxical case of a.
church attempting to set aside a
will bequeathing it the bulk of a
3500.000 estate was revealed today
when the First Church of Christ.
Scientist. of Boston. petitioned the
Superior court to set aside the will
made by Georgia Sa'ckt-tt Buggies.
26 days before her death last June
and naming it the principal benefic-
lary.
The action was prompted by on
old California. law providing that
bequests to charitable or religious
organizations shall not be valid un-
less tho will incorporating them
was executed at least 30 days be-
fore the death of the testator. Ac-
cordingly the church asks that the
26-day will. which hasbeen admitted
to probate and which provides that
all previous wills‘oholl be void. be
set aside and afrevious will recog-
nized as valid. The previous will
also names the church chief bcneo
flclary but provides for a different
set of personal bequests.
